Yesterday, we had our Annual Volunteer Meeting. We had good attendance and went over many things in relation to the functions of FFRC. Plus, everyone brought yummy goodies to share! That's always nice. The volunteers of FFRC always amaze me with their time that they give, their compassion and their friendship to both cats and the other volunteers.
Mama Calico Cat is back outside--just where she wants to be. We are checking on her everyday to make sure she is feeling good. It wasn't fair of us to insist she stay inside, when her heart belongs outside. She loves her Firehouse and friends. We're keeping a good eye on her.

The Cat Show on Saturday was very nice. Many different breeds to see. We watched some of the judging and really enjoyed looking at all the cats. I have to say though---these FFRC cats are still the best!
Update on Jordy. I need to let you know that our Jordy is not doing well at all. In addition to his pancreas being affected, he is now in liver failure. He's comfortable and is enjoying being loved on. Our vet has said that they do not believe there is anything further they can do to turn him around that hasn't been done already. This is a real heartbreak for us all. Jordy is so loved and has had such an injustice done to him. When these things happen, we want ever so much for things to go well. We will care for him and still hope for a miracle.
We have taken on two new cats.
ANNETTA--this sweetheart is an old girl--a calico. Right now, I do not have a birthday on her as once they are progressed in age, it's hard to tell. We will get her a birthday though sometime. She was brought in on 1/28, simply found on her own by a lady. She is blind. Her left eye is punctured and needs to be removed. Her left eye is severely scarred and has no sight. She was so very hungry. And there were active fleas on her. Annetta also has barely any teeth left. But she sure can eat. She's a doll who just loves to be loved on and told she is beautiful.
ESTA SPARKLES--this flamepoint cat was brought here to FFRC. She's been outside since at least Christmas. We have her at 2 1/2 years. with her birthday as 7/12/15. She was so dirty--did two bubble baths on her. Esta had many mats but they are now combed out. What another sweetie--friendly and a purr-er. We added the name Sparkles because a little girl that knows Esta liked that name.
